Most Expensive Piece of Hardware You Own?

[andanton]

The most expensive piece of hardware that I own is my LCD 19" monitor at $300. Price on it has gone down now. However, it was $300 when I purchased it originally. Everything else in my machine costs less then the LCD monitor.

Everyone post in this thread their most expensive piece of hardware.

hmm I don't remember what my parts cost for my computer but I got my entire computer for $500 in July 2004 so the parts weren't expensive.

My pctv.. 99 dolars

Graphics Card is most expensive part. Nividia 6800 NU at $200.

Most expensive part in my system is my 7800GTX.

 

[Greg King]

Well, what I paid and what it's going for now is two totally differant subjects.

I paid $425 for my 7800GT when they first came out.....now its like $275.

I paid about $500 for a 6800 Ultra, though I probably should of just gotten a 6800 GT an overclocked it. Live and learn.....

You will laugh, but the most expensive hardware I got is my USB infrared wireless headphones [manufactured by Xdream]. Cost me two-hundred and fifty dollars. Still working great after a couple years.

LCD I guess........... About $300 after everthing is said and done.

My water cooling system was the most expensive piece of hardware in my computer. The cost of all the individual pieces that make up my water cooling unit runs over $400.

I paid $620CAN taxes in for my BFG 6800GT. Talk about not getting what you paid for.

I'm not about to start adding up all my water cooling equipment............. I'd have a heart attack if I did.

I also use watercooling and I got one thing to say about it. It is a PERMANENT investment. Even though you may pay a lot, it lasts forever. You can use it again in your next computer system, then again in the next one, and again.

I use air cooling. Not sensible to spend hundreds of dollars on water cooling to cool a cpu that only costs a couple hundred. Good air cooling is only 40.

In my personal computer, the highest price item is the video card for 289.

 

[skyrise]

Hmmms, let me think. What is the highest price item in my computer. Must be the CPU. Paid two hundred for the cpu.

My brand new Geforce 7800GS got for a gift for my birthday a few weeks ago. Believe it is worth $300.

I paid $620CAN taxes in for my BFG 6800GT. Talk about not getting what you paid for.

Weren't you the one who was complaining about BFG in a different thread?

 

[Rob Williams]

Weren't you the one who was complaining about BFG in a different thread?

Yup, why?

 

[Fr00zen]

Yup, why?

I only asked because I saw the price you paid. I would of unloaded the card onto ebay if I got a card I didn't like.

 

[Rob Williams]

Yeah, it was pricy at the time. If I realized the 7800GT's were out so soon after it I would have held off. It wasn't so bad for the first month, and because the 7800GTX's were launched less than two months after I bought it, the prices went down quite a bit.

I'm on my fourth 6800GT... and it hasn't blown up yet so I am content with it now.
